It feels like it's dying. Just anecdotally it seems like there have been less threads lately, less quality threads, and less discussion overall. More anecdotally I feel like the last couple of federation / defederation slap fights ended with many users leaving as well. I can think of a few who left because we were federating, some who left because we then subsequently defederated from lots of the fediverse, and then even a few who said they would leave if we didn't defederate and then left anyway when we did.

I feel like mostly overall I have seen very few new posters, and have seen less and less of some certain power posters.

Is this just a illusion or is this really what's happening. What is to be done?

90/9/1 rule

90% of users are lurkers and they need to be bullied into posting

I would like to remind every hexbear that failure to post whatever inane bullshit floats to the top of your mind after reading anything at all on this website is counter-revolutionary. Good communists post. The only bad posting is no posting. And bad posting gets you dent to the posting gulag where they make you post anyway.

9% engage with the content by commenting and sharing and posting once or twice, while the vast majority of the content is created by the 1% of posters who post daily or semi-daily.
